Dr. Seuss is the epitome of imagination inspiration. I held this book for countless hours in my grubby little 3 year old fingers and spent the days reading it over and over. My mother first thought that I was just looking at pictures and describing what I saw; This wasn't the case. What better way to introduce children to all the great things in the world than with Dr. Seuss. Because of this man, I have been able to come up with creatures that nobody has ever thought of. I've been able to write stories that nobody has ever imagined. I love to read because of this man and, I think that every kid in the world should too.
With funding being cut for reading programs all across the nation, parents more now than ever, need to spend more time reading to their children, taking them to the library, expose their young and vulnerable minds to great fiction. Inspire them to think on their own, inspire them to create something from nothing. Drive them, and motivate them to become brilliant and imaginative adults. It worked for me. 15 minutes a day is all it takes to get them hooked on books.
